Another four youth were selected to receive a $75 buying credit from one of four show pig producers. The buying credit is an added benefit to the youth participating.

The Wisconsin Pork Association Youth Committee developed the program to assist youth in developing pork production projects for 4-H or FFA. The committee wanted to enhance project development, while hoping to educate more youth on careers available within the Wisconsin pork industry.

To apply, Wisconsin youth submitted a Pig Project Scholarship request to WPA which addressed project goals, a simple budget for the project, Pork Quality Assurance certification date, future goals as they relate to the pork industry, and a paragraph stating why the Wisconsin Pork Association should select
them for the Youth Pig Project.
